Tonight I read the chapter in Braiding Sweetgrass about this, and was led to this most beautiful story. Chi Migwetch.

I am reading this chapter right now! And this shows up!

Such a beautiful tradition. Thank you for sharing. I’m fascinated by the black ash and I hope they are as resilient as the basket weavers. I would love some day to watch or learn this.

Miigwech for this video. My first time viewing it. It has so much to offer and I am so grateful to those that made this happen. We are hoping to bring this amazing skill back to our community.

Beautiful love for ash trees and the land.

Over the years it has become my favorite tree.

Wonderful video.

I really admire the beauty and utility of the ash basket pack! Do you know if this is a Native American invention or an adaptation of this craft (and art!)! Someday I’ll own one of these packs. They would seem to be tailor made for carrying anything that needs to dry out while you’re traveling👍

Beautiful people ❤

this documentary is nearly 14 years old now, i wonder how the situation with the beetles has progressed in that time

When was this made?

What a wonderful and informative video! Now where can I purchase some of these baskets?!!!!!

Chi miigwetch niizhin!!

How you did that on private land with promision! Don't need corners coming to my backyard taking our good live Ash trees!
